[QUOTE="jojolee, post: 1752091, member: 390891"] Hi all, I'm using a Mac running on OS Sierra, I set the Parental Controls myself, and there is only one account linked to this Mac. It seems that I must've set something wrongly because I clicked the option to "Convert this account to administrator account" or something along that line. Now when I try to change the Parental Controls by clicking on the Lock inside System Preferences to make changes, I cannot enter an administrator or username correctly password correctly. Can somebody tell me if I'm doing something wrong, like if I'm already inside the Parental Controls (seems unlikely) or if there's anyway to reset the Parental Controls without having to lose my current account, any data, or having to re-use my Microsoft Key (cause thats just troublesome). Thank you very much. [/QUOTE]
